Is it possible to link to a collection from a banner?

Hey kdr;

At this time:

A banner can only do one of two things: open a link, or occupy space on the browse page. So no, a banner cannot open a collection.

And a collection can only have one card image -- so you cannot have two instances of a collection in your home collection (or anywhere) look different.

You might create a second, and different, collection with the same content* - but use a different card image. This might deliver what you're thinking about, but might require extra attention and curation.

* The two collections likely should have the same product ID.

Thanks Colin!

Has there been any updates to this? There was a post in September that said this banner linking feature was something that you really wanted to add: Linking to Collections.

Making a duplicate collection with all of the same content just to change the collection card style is really inefficient and hard to manage. Creating a single banner that would link to a collection would be much more streamlined and intuitive.

Thanks.

No change yet. Still in consideration.

Okay. When you say consideration do you mean that this would be a difficult technical feature to implement, or is there other reasons for not allowing a banner to have this feature?

I am asking because it seems like a much better solution than duplicating an entire collection, so I assume there must be some downside to this feature that I am overlooking.

Thank you for the response.

Consideration = still looking at it, no timeline I can share.

PMs make the judgement of how difficult something is and how many resources are needed to implement. Sometimes PMs will tip their cards.

The workaround I shared with KDR was a way to maybe address her need. But it's not a real solution. Yes, I have to be cagey on this topic. Hopefully my sharing a little information is better than no response.

Okay, thanks for the information Colin.
